Interpreting a Payoff Matrix

Two individuals, Player 1 and Player 2, are involved in a strategic interaction where each can choose to either 'Cooperate' or 'Defect'. The table below shows three of the four possible outcomes and the resulting payoffs for each player. The first number in each cell is the payoff for Player 1, and the second is for Player 2.

Player 2: CooperatePlayer 2: Defect
Player 1: Cooperate(3, 3)(0, 5)
Player 1: Defect(5, 0)[ MISSING ]

If the outcome where both players choose to 'Defect' results in a payoff of (1, 1), what does the payoff (5, 0) represent in terms of the specific choices made by each player?
