You'll need to set the second participating team in the match. You have the option of loading an existing team roster or manually entering in the team data (in which case you will be prompted to create the roster after the match or game is created and saved. Note: if you manually enter the roster into the match or game, it will not be available for use in subsequent matches or games).
