Game und match haben im Allgemeinen eine ähnliche Bedeutung und sind oft austauschbar - aber nicht immer!
Hier ist eine Expertenmeinung:
"Sometimes it matters and sometimes it doesn't.
Any social game is likely to be called a game. You have a game of golf (or tennis, badminton, volleyball...) with your friends on the weekend, not a match. Any official game could be called a match.
In casual usage for official matches, it doesn't matter whether you call it a football game or a football match. Are you watching the game/match tonight?
In a few sports, such as tennis, a 'match' is composed of several 'sets' which are composed of several 'games'. 'Game' has a special meaning in this context." (Quelle)
Es gibt auch eine Theorie, dass der Ursprung einer Sportart darüber entscheidet, ob man match oder game sagt.
