matches up
Pairs correctly together
Matches up means to correspond, align, or be consistent with something else.
Two accounts of an event match up if they agree on the details: Her story doesn't match up with what the witnesses said.
Things that match up fit together properly: Make sure the holes match up before you insert the bolts.
To match someone up is to pair them, often romantically: Her friends keep trying to match her up with eligible bachelors.
