Match the Devil (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lucifer

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'match' is the first definition.
('lucifer' can be a synonym of 'match')

'the devil' is the second definition.
('Lucifer' can be a synonym of 'devil')

(Other definitions for lucifer that I've seen before include "Beelzebub, Old Nick" , "the adversary" , "Rebellious angel; a match" , "Satan, Son of the Morning" , "Light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
