The correct option that explains the information conveyed in the sentence is "They were ashamed because they had been defeated." The phrase "moved with their tails between their legs" is an idiomatic expression that is often used to describe a situation where someone is moving away from something in a defeated or shameful manner, similar to the way a dog might move when it is feeling defeated or ashamed. Therefore, the sentence implies that the footballers were defeated and felt ashamed, resulting in them moving with their tails between their legs.
