matchTemplate isn't returning a result each time. It computes the overlapping of the template to the image, with the specified method. Therefore, there is always a results (for all pixels, the square difference, or the correlation, ...). When you use MinMaxLocation to find the "most probable position of the template on the image", I insist on the "most probable", you have a score, that you can threshold if it's too low. It's up to you and depend on your context.

What did you call "image matching"? matchTemplate? DescriptorMatcher (FLANN, BF)?
Just a remark. In the future, try using tags without hashtags to it. It creates unneccesary doubles in the tags list, which makes it harder to perform good filtering on this forum. Thanks in advance! I have adapted your tags for this topic.
