If can use CONCAT function.

C2
=MID(CONCAT(IF(A2=LOOKUP(ROW($A$2:$A$8),ROW($A$2:$A$8)/($A$2:$A$8<>""),$A$2:$A$8),","&$B$2:$B$8,"")),2,99)

Ctrl + Shift + Enter
Copy down.

========

If cannot use CONCAT function.

E2 (helper)

=D2&","&INDEX($B$1:$B$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($2:$8)/($A2=LOOKUP(ROW($2:$8),ROW($2:$8)/($A$2:$A$8<>""),$A$2:$A$8)),COLUMN(A:A)))

Copy to right-hand side and down

C2

=IFERROR(MID(LOOKUP(CHAR(255),E2:Z2),2,99),"")
Copy down.
