A football tournament is played between 5 teams, each two of which playing exactly one match. 5 points are awarded for a victory and 0 – for a loss. In case of a draw 1 point is awarded to both teams, if no goals are scored, and 2 – if they have scored any. In the final ranking the five teams had points that were 5 consecutive numbers. Determine the least number of goals that could be scored in the tournament.
