Match not working with aggregation in Mongoose

Question

Without match I'm getting my required output, when I provide $match value, I'm getting an empty response. What could be the reason for empty response? Is there any different way to call the $match param?

var query = {"section":"324444"};  // 324444 is section schema _id value 


Transaction.aggregate({
"$match": query
},{ "$group": { "_id": "$user", "section": { "$first": "$section"}, "amount": { "$sum": { "$cond": ["$credit", "$amount", { "$subtract": [ 0, "$amount" ] }] }} }})
      .exec(function(err, transactions)
       {
              // Transactions List Grouped User wise 
        });

// Transaction schema
 var transSchema = new Schema({
  user: {type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User',required: true},
  section: {type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Section',required: true},
  amount: { type: Number, required: true},
  credit: { type: Boolean, default: true }
  created_at: Date
});         

// Section schema
var sectionSchema = new Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true},
  created_at: Date
}); 

Update: Tried with the below code, but I get empty response. Also How do I handle when I have to match from 2 or more collections (Say for example I have another Collection named SubSection similar to Section in Transaction Schema)

Code:

      Transaction.aggregate({ "$lookup": {
      "from": Section.collection.name,
      "localField": "section",
      "foreignField": "_id",
      "as": "section"
    }},
    { "$match": {"section._id":"324444"} },
    { "$group": { "_id": "$user", "section": { "$first": "$section"}, "amount": { "$sum": { "$cond": ["$credit", "$amount", { "$subtract": [ 0, "$amount" ] }] }} }})
      .exec(function(err, transactions)
       {

           // Results 

        });
