I'm confused by the construction of "of the noun" in a sentence. I always think that "of" means "in" and "the" means "this". Is my understanding right? This structure is often seen in sentences ...of the day/the week/the afternoon, etc.
A second goal of the afternoon for Rashford.
A second goal of the game for David.
Manchester United make their first change of the afternoon.
Word of the day.
Man of the match.
I always interpret "of the afternoon"/"of the game" to mean in this afternoon/in this game.
Word of the day = Word in this day.
Man of the match = man in this game.
