Devil of a match (7)

I believe the answer is:

lucifer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'devil' is the first definition.
(I know that Lucifer is a devil)

'a match' is the second definition.
(I know that friction match can be written as lucifer)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for lucifer that I've seen before include "striker" , "Devil - match!" , "leader of rebellion" , "Light" , "Satan, the Devil" .)

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