Match total (5)

I believe the answer is:

tally

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'total' is the second definition.
('tally' can be a synonym of 'total')

(Other definitions for tally that I've seen before include "Square" , "Reckon up" , "Agree - count" , "Running total" , "Reckoning of a debt or of votes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
