'match perhaps' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

(Other definitions for venue that I've seen before include "The place where something happens" , "Site for event" , "Meeting-place" , "place to meet" , "We could have a meeting here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
