htaccess redirect from old url to new url

Question

I am trying to redirect from old url to new url in htaccess and here is my code/try/attempts without any luck.

OLD URL - https://www.rosterelf.com/blog/why-i-always-hire-for-attitude-over-skill-usually

NEW URL - https://www.rosterelf.com/blog/why-i-always-hire-attitude-over-skill-usually

.htaccess code try 1

RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/why-i-always-hire-for-attitude-over-skill-usually /blog/why-i-always-hire-attitude-over-skill-usually

I have couple of other 301 redirects but even if I comment those, above condition does not work so believe others conditions are not in fault.

Here is my full htaccess code how it looks like.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    ##
    ## You may need to uncomment the following line for some hosting environments,
    ## if you have installed to a subdirectory, enter the name here also.
    ##
    # RewriteBase /

    ##
    ## Uncomment following lines to force HTTPS.
    ##
    # RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    # RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R=301]

    ##
    ## Allow robots.txt

    RewriteRule ^robots.txt - [L]

    ##
    ## Standard routes
    ##
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

</IfModule>

Can someone guide me what should I do to achieve this.

Thanks
