Prime-degree linear acyclic matching conjecture for field extensions

Let KLK\subset L be a field extension, and say that it has the linear acyclic matching property if every pair of nonzero nn-dimensional KK-subspaces A,BLA,B\subset L with ABA={0}AB\cap A=\{0\} admits an acyclic matching from AA to BB.

Prime-degree linear acyclic matching conjecture. There are infinitely many primes pp for which there exists a field extension KLK\subset L with [L:K]=p[L:K]=p such that KLK\subset L does not have the linear acyclic matching property.

The linear matching property has a known classification, whereas the corresponding acyclic property is not classified. The purely transcendental case is known, but the behavior of prime-degree extensions and finite extensions without proper intermediate fields remains open.
