i got my code to finally compile but, now im getting 5 linker errors that i have no idea why im throwing them

the errors are:

football.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall Football::SearchMatches(struct Match * * const,int,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,int)" (?SearchMatches@Football@@QAEXQAPAUMatch@@HV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@H@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall Football::RunFootball(void)" (?RunFootball@Football@@QAEXXZ)

}

look at line 13 of the *.cpp file then compare it with line 30 of the header file. The first parameter of the function in the *.cpp file does not match the parameter in the header file.

Also, the cpp file must declare the class name

void Football::SearchMatches(Match* matches,int size,string TeamName)
{

  // blabla
}
