Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'no' = not any/zero and 'score' = points, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'no score' = zero points for either side. This is a common, non-idiomatic construction cross-linguistically and requires no metaphorical or culture-specific knowledge.
Etymology
No score comes from the empty scoreboard: when neither team has any points, there is no score shown. So it means a game where neither side has 'scored' any 'points' or 'goals'.
