When a match stick is struck, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat and light and the rest is converted into matter. A match stick has a lot of chemical energy stored in it. When its struck, It start burning. The chemical energy stored in it is transformed into heat energy and light energy. The rest of it turn into ashes and reaction gases.
