game.py self.current_score update I got it right with attached code but I'm not sure If I did it right

Hello, the attached code says it is correct. Is there a better way to do this or am I being over critical?

Just don't know if I went about it in the best way.

game.py 
class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]

  def score(self, player):
    if player == 1:
      self.current_score[0] += 1
    else:
      self.current_score[1] += 1

You can also do it as a one-liner:

  def score(self, player):
    self.current_score[player - 1] += 1

But anything that passes is "right".

Interesting. I didn't know you could approach that task like that. So the [player -1] just signifies that it starts with the 0 indexed player?
