yes if the head of the match contains an oxidizer but the shaft will not burn needs oxygen now raw sodium when immersed in water will burn magnesium will burn under water and needs a class d fire extinguisher to put it out , most of the elements that will burn contain an oxidizer thus the triad is there heat/ fuel /oxygen .
