Per the official React documentation:

  • path - (string) The path pattern used to match. Useful for building nested <Route>s
  • url - (string) The matched portion of the URL. Useful for building nested <Link>s

Consider the route "/users/:userId". match.path would be "/users/:userId" while match.url would have the :userId value filled in, e.g. "users/5".
