I don't really get the question again!...
Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument that'll be either 1 or 2. Increase that player's value in self.current_score by 1. You'll need to adjust the index (i.e. player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase).
... how do I know what the player argument will be like? Is it is tuple- like one value for each player? (which is suggested with the info about needing to adjust the index)
class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
def score(self):
# do some check on player/ player arg
self.current_score = self.current_score + 1

Here's one way to select between the players:
def score(self, player):
# This can be reduced to one line
if player == 1:
# ...
else:
# ...

It doesn't really explain what current_score is... if it is a tuple of two players scores or different types of score- I can't see the link with the video beforehand too
