addObject to NSMutableArray not working

In short, I want my tableView to show events (eg. football matches) that are happening Today. Therefore, I want to add those dictionaries that match to a NSMutableArray by use of addObject. I've tried it with this code, but the NSMutableArray does not show anything:

self.Array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"matches" ofType:@"plist"]];

matchesToday = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
match = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

for  (int i=0; i<[Array count]; i++) {
        NSDate *datum = [[Array objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"date"];
        NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
        NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:(NSEraCalendarUnit|NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit) fromDate:[NSDate date]];
        NSDate *today = [cal dateFromComponents:components];
        components = [cal components:(NSEraCalendarUnit|NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit) fromDate:datum];
        NSDate *otherDate = [cal dateFromComponents:components];

        if([today isEqualToDate:otherDate]) {

            //do stuff
            [matchesToday addObject:match];

        NSLog(@"%i, %@", i, otherDate);
        NSLog(@"Match is today");

    }
    else {
        NSLog(@"Match is not today");
    }
    }
NSLog(@"%@", matchesToday);
}

The plist is an array of dictionaries that looks like this:

<array>
    <dict>
    <key>date</key>
    <date>2011-12-13T00:00:00Z</date>
    <key>titel</key>
    <string>Tilburg - Oss</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
    <key>date</key>
    <date>2011-12-13T00:00:00Z</date>
    <key>titel</key>
    <string>Amsterdam - Roosendaal</string>
    </dict> 
</array>

What am I doing wrong?

You need to be adding the individual item from Array inside the date test if statement with the following line:

[matchesToday addObject:[Array objectAtIndex:i]];

At the point that this code executes, match is just an empty mutable array.
