Unsure how to add 'else' after my existing if statement without changing program [duplicate]

Have an If-Statement but no 'else' after 'if'. Is the 'else' part necessary? i don't want to change the program (which is supposed to randomise 3 die 50 times and count how many matches there were) unless I need to. Mainly focused on 'else' after if statement

#Program 2#
#create a Yatzhee dice program#
import random

print("--------------------")
print("Yatzhee dice program")
print("--------------------")
print("")
print("Welcome to the Yatzhee Dice Program")
print("In this program the dice will get rolled 50 times and at the end we tell you how many matches you got.")
print("")
# before loop #

rolls = 50
total_matches = 0

# --- loop ---

for i in range(rolls): #randomise 50 times#
    die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
    die2 = random.randint(1, 6)#chooses a number from 1 to 6#
    die3 = random.randint(1, 6)

    print(die1, "|", die2, "|", die3)

    if die1 == die2 == die3:#If all three are the same.#
        print("****MATCH*****")#If statement inside for-loop so it adds up how many matches there were#
        total_matches += 1 #increases no. of matches by 1 each time there is a match#

#after loop#

print("")
print("The total number of matches was:", total_matches)#tells user how many matches there were#
