Orthographically, 5:0 half-time is correct. This, however, looks stupid and it is difficult to read, so a change of title, such as 'at 5:0 at half-time', would probably be the more elegant solution.

Typically elegant.

The Duden says that a hyphen is required for number-word combinations. But that just looks like ah*** in the case. I'd let him go, or better write "… half-time of 5:0".

No line for me. I'm not a native speaker.

Right:)

But don't make yourself smaller than you are – you say things like "is thrown" your German is good enough not to mention that you are not a native speaker ^^^ there are native speakers with less idea about the German language than you ^^

You even drop the personal pronoun "I" and just reflect the verb – some native speakers don't even notice that personal pronouns are missing… However, as you had to learn the language including "I" and "you", it's more a conscious decision with you, or the result is that you just go in the direction C2 and don't need to think what you say.

With your knowledge of German, you can make mentioning calm ^^

That's right:

5:0 half-time (without spaces)

Now is a 2:1 contribution. :-

The line looks weird to me.

I understand. At the moment there is a 5:0 half-time stand.

This is a little weird, but it's grammatical. It's just like

Strawberry cake ingredient (I think I'm hungry).
