A goal, at rugby, after being nil-nil? Gosh! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ooh

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gosh' is the definition.
(I know that gosh can be written as ooh)

'a goal at rugby after being nil-nil?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'nil' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'nil?' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ooh that I've seen before include "Exclamation of surprise or pain" , "Exclamation of delight" , "expression of delight" , "sound excited" , "Expression of surprise" .)
