I have heard of either a soccer match or a soccer game, but I have never heard the term match used in connection with hockey. That one is always a game, I believe.

Its more of a Queens English vs US English thing. In England its a Match played on a Pitch. In the US you will hear bot the English terms above along with and interchanged with a Game played on a Field. Either are "correct" depending on the background/affiliation of the persons in the conversation.

It should be " 'football' match" if you are anywhere outside US and Canada. In those two countries you can say either, it really doesn't matter
