.Resources.Match Returns Page Missing Resources

A page on my site calls .Resources.Match to fetch a group of content files that I expect to have their own .Resources property, but do not. I would like to fetch the page, then get a resource. The content structure is like a page bundle, and I've added [[resources]] to the front matter, but neither .BundleType nor Resources is set (.Resources returns an empty array). How can I get the content, then the resource?

Directory

page/
├─ index.md
└- leaf_bundles/
   └- leaf/
     ├─ index.md
     └─ resource.etc

Template page/index.md

{{ $leaf := .Resources.Match "leaf_bindles/**/*.md" | index 0 }}
{{ $leaf.IsPage }} // => true
{{ $leaf.Resources }} // => []

Content Front Matter leaf/index.md

[[resources]]
name = "resource"
src = "resource.etc"

I assume that if I were to create a template for "leaf", .Resources would be populated in that context. Is it possible to fetch leaf bundle resources from a page returned itself by a call to .Match?

I was able to achieve the desired result -- accessing page bundle content and resources from a parent page -- using .Pages and the where operator. Instead of calling .Resources.Match to fetch the .md file of a page bundle, .Pages where "Type" "mySection" returns the page bundle in its entirety, including a pointer to its resources. I set the "type" in front matter, and am good to go.

Thanks to misterbisson whose post led to my solution.
