The match would burn brightly and with a large flame. The real danger is what else is close to the flame, remembering the flame will be so large and hot. Oxygen will not explode until it is at least 10%, as I remember, and will not explode in concentrations higher than about 88%. These numbers are close but I wouldn't guarantee them. It's been too many years.

oxygen is not explosive.
you would most probably get a flame that is very strong, and he match would be consumed by the flame very quickly as there is alot of oxygen to support combustion.
it should not explode.

Oxygen supports combusion, but is not explosive by itself. The match would burn up very quickly and then go out.

oxygen needs other gases to be explosive. Oxygen alone will only cause the match to burn very bright until all oxy is used.
