In match sticks used, red phosphorus are used whose ignition temperature is very high, around 445 degree Celsius.
When the top of the match stick is rubbed against the match box, a certain amount of phosphorus get heated up and results in a tiny spark.
This spark ignites the antimony trisulphide in the head of the match stick.
Simultaneously, the potassium chlorate breaks down to provide oxygen producing a flame on the head of the match stick.
