Combustion requires both an oxidizer and oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere; while match heads contain built-in oxidizer allowing them to spark anywhere, the wooden stick needs atmospheric oxygen to sustain a flame, which is why a match would only flare briefly on Mars where oxygen levels are less than 0.1% of Earth's.

The flame dies in under a second.
