Default Identifying matched cell values

I have a sheet set out like the following:

A B C
1 9 9
2 6 3
3 4 4

I want C to show if values are matched i.e. "matched" or "unmatched" (True
or false would be okay). In the above example C1 would show "matched", C2
would be "not matched", C3 would be "matched"

What would I need to do show this ? Ive tried playing with the IF function
but cant pin it down. Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

Try:

=A1=B1 copied down. (this gives TRUE/FALSE)

I suggest =Exact(ref1, ref2)
This returns a true or false
