This clue might be a double definition.

'game' is the first definition.
(eg a football match)

'striker in the box?' is the second definition.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for match that I've seen before include "Contest; correspond" , "Tally; game" , "Alliance" , "Partnership" , "Stick in a box?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
