Rails Associations - Multiple users fulfilling different roles for single model

I'm struggling with associations today.

I have 2 models

User
Match

A match is initiated by a userA and has an opponent, userB

I need to be able to distinguish which user created the match and which is the opposer so simple has_many & belongs_to isn't enough.

Ok i would do something like this:

on my create Match action i would create the match like this

Match controller:

def create
   @match= Match.new(params[:match])
   @match.creator_id = current_user.id 

    respond_to do |format|
      if @match.save
        format.html    
      else
        format.html
      end
    end
end

asuming you are using something like devise and that the match model has both of the users and one is the creator_id
