Popis: The perfect matching complex of a simple graph G is a simplicial complex having facets (maximal faces) as the perfect matchings of G. This article discusses the perfect matching complex of polygonal line tiling and the $\left(2 \times n\right)$-grid graph in particular. We use tools from discrete Morse theory to show that the perfect matching complex of any polygonal line tiling is either contractible or homotopically equivalent to a wedge of spheres. While proving our results, we also characterise all the matchings that can not be extended to form a perfect matching.
