You're right. Though we can (fairly safely) assume that "class" probably is used here to refer to one game of a certain sport, technically it also could be used to refer to the type of match used to set wood (and/or lungs) on fire.

| It means he asked for something to light up a cigarette or start a fire with. I can't think of any situation in which "asking for a match" would involve a sports match. It could mean that the person was picking a fight after class (as in, maybe, a boxing match), but that would be highly unlikely in a Berlitz course. |

Or it could be those old jokes everyone knows:
"Do you have a match?" "Yeah, my a** and your face!"
"Do you have a match?" "Yeah, your breath and a buffalo f*rt."
"Do you have a match?" "Not since Superman died!" |
