Abstract: We show that for a metric space with an even number of points there is a 1-Lipschitz map to a tree-like space with the same matching number. This result gives the first basic version of an unoriented Kantorovich duality. The study of the duality gives a version of global calibrations for 1-chains with coefficients in $mathbb{Z}_2$. Finally we extend the results to infinite metric spaces and present a notion of "matching dimension" which arises naturally.
