I think you missed part of your input here. I see data. I see output. I don't think I see a match matrix????

 

Recordid - transpose. join on record id of match vs match and value/value -> filter -> summarize tool group by recordid concat your values -> join by recordid back to your original data.

 

that's the usual way to do this.
