[B-Greek] About Matthew 28:1

Hi everyone,
Could the phrase "in the end of the sabbath" at the beginning of Matthew
28:1 in all the translations I know of actually belong to the preceding
phrase, 'setting a watch in the end of the sabbath' with Matthew 28:1 then
reading 'as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week..."?

I have heard that 'in the end of the sabbath' belongs to the last part of
Matthew 27 because if it belonged to Matthew 28:1 it would mean the women
went to the tomb late Saturday afternoon, which would create a contradiction
with the other 3 gospels.

Thanks
David
