First, is your wall correctly named? And is the trigger at the correct position? Maybe you have duplicated the wall for player1 and forgot to move it to the right location.

Also, I think you don't should use the name of the gameobject. I think using a bool or int is a better choice. And in the trigger script get the right value with a public var. (You can change the value of a public variable in the inspector).

 public var player : int = 1;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter2D (hitInfo : Collider2D) {
     if (hitInfo.name == "Ball")
     {
         GameManager.Score (player);
     }
 }

And in the GameManger script change the parameter from String to int.

 static function Score (plrNo : int) {
  
     if (plrNo == 1)
     {
         playerScore01 += 1;
     } else if (plrNo == 2) {
         playerScore02 += 1;
     }
     Debug.Log("Player Score 1 is " + playerScore01);
     Debug.Log("Player Score 2 is " + playerScore02);
 }

PS: You have forgotten the closing bracket in the Score function. Look at my script. You have also forgotten the opening bracket for the else if
