no interrupt then using the timer2a as counter (ek-lm4f120xl)

 I want to use the TIMER2A as counter from an gpio pin PB0. this works, but the counter doesn't stop on timermatchset and always begins at the defined TimerLoadset to count down. But i wan't, that the counter makes an interrupt. what's wrong with my code? 

And what i have to  do, that an interrupt of timer0a counts down the counter of timer2a  one step?  i didn't found this in the manual. i know i could set a togglebit to another gpio an make a wire bridge to in gpioinput of the counter. but i think there must be an easier way :)

Thank you very much in advance for your answer

and greetings from germany.

here are the codes:

main.c code:

#define PART_LM4F120H5QR true //befor using pin_map.h !!!!
#include "inc/hw_ints.h"
#include "inc/hw_memmap.h"
#include "inc/hw_types.h"
#include "driverlib/sysctl.h"
#include "driverlib/interrupt.h"
#include "driverlib/gpio.h"
#include "driverlib/timer.h"
#include "driverlib/adc.h" //for the ADC
#include "driverlib/debug.h"
#include "driverlib/pin_map.h"

#ifdef DEBUG
void__error__(char *pcFilename, unsigned long ulLine)
{
}
#endif

//define values

#define counter_value 12


int main (void)
{
SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_GPIOB); //Enable GPIOP Port B
GPIOPinConfigure(GPIO_PB0_T2CCP0); //USE Pin 0 on port B for counter
GPIOPinTypeTimer(GPIO_PORTB_BASE,GPIO_PIN_0); //USE Pin 0 on port B for counter
//Set Timer2A as counter
IntMasterEnable(); //enable master interrupt
SysCtlPeripheralEnable(SYSCTL_PERIPH_TIMER2); //enable periphery TIMER 2
TimerDisable(TIMER2_BASE,TIMER_A);
TimerIntDisable(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_CAPA_MATCH);
TimerConfigure(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_CFG_A_CAP_COUNT ); // set TIMER 2 To 24 bit counting down one shot
TimerLoadSet(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_A, counter_value); //Set the Count for Timer2A to 0
TimerControlEvent(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_A, TIMER_EVENT_BOTH_EDGES); //count then GPIO Pin
TimerMatchSet(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_A, 1);//TimerMatchSet(TIMER2_BASE,TIMER_A,5);
TimerIntEnable(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_CAPA_MATCH); //interrupt when countervalue=1
IntEnable(INT_TIMER2A); //enable Interrupt on TIMER2A
TimerEnable(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_A);

int counter=15;
while(1)
{

counter=TimerValueGet(TIMER2_BASE,TIMER_A); //here is a break point in the debugger 


}
}

void Timer2AIntHandler(void)
{

TimerIntClear(TIMER2_BASE, TIMER_CAPA_MATCH);
int check;
check=1;
