Gmat:Math-Data sufficiency

In a football match, the 'golden' team was trailing by 2 goals with 5 minutes remaining.Did the ''golden' team win the match ?
(1) Glen, the 'golden' team striker, scored 3 goals in the last 5min of the match.
(2) Silver team the other team in the match had scored a total of 3 goals in the match when 5min were remaining in the match
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Did golden win?

1) Glen, the 'golden' team striker, scored 3 goals in the last 5min of the match

-we do not know if the silver team also scored any goals. cant say who won. not sufficient

2) Silver team the other team in the match had scored a total of 3 goals in the match when 5min were remaining in the match

-we do not know how many goals silver and golden scored in the last 5 mins of the match. cant say who won. not sufficient

both together,
we know with 5 mins to go silver had 3 pts, golden had 1 pt, and golden scored 3 more pts in the last 5 mins, so golden had 4 pts at the end, but we do not know if silver scored any goals as well in the last 5 mins. cant say who won

hence E
