A match won't light in hydrogen. It needs some oxygen.

If you light a match in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, you'll ignite the hydrogen ...

which also wants very much to burn in oxygen. The hydrogen will combine (burn) with

the oxygen instantly, brightly, and possibly loudly. The product that remains after the

hydrogen finishes burning is H2O .

You will hear a popping sound, that's the sound of the hydrogen gas escaping all at once. It's almost like hearing a suction cup being ripped away from a suface.

Both hydrogen and matchsticks require oxygen to burn. Since there isn't any in the hydrogen tube, the fire goes out.
