Advertised as a "light-hearted look at the Premiership's action", Match of the Day 2 offers highlights of Premier League matches that were played on Sunday, the day after the original Match of the Day is broadcast. Previously, highlights of these games did not always air on terrestrial broadcasters. Match of the Day (sometimes abbreviated as MotD) is the BBCs main football television programme. ...
The programme follows a similar format to the original Match of the Day, albeit with fewer highlights because there are only two or three matches most Sundays (sometimes there are more or just one), allowing more time to be allocated for pundits and/or the host to talk about tactics or current affairs of football. There is also a segment showing the goals scored in Saturday's games, often accompanied by tabloid headlines and music. "Our man" Kevin Day is often sent to one of the Saturday matches to gain an insight from the fans perspective. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The show originally featured a "Top 5" countdown based around a current event or a guest pundit on the show, such as "Worst Haircuts", "Shocking refereeing decisions" or "Golden Oldies". However this has now been replaced by "2 Good, 2 Bad" which offers a humorous look at the goings on of the football weekend in England, such as embarrassing gaffes, unusual celebrations or supporters being caught out.

Trivia - For the first time in MOTD2 history, on April 22 2007 there were no goals to show as the day's two matches (Newcastle v Chelsea and Portsmouth v Aston Villa) had both finished scoreless, although in keeping a clean sheet in the Portsmouth match, David James broke David Seaman's record of the most clean sheets kept in the Premiership. Ironically, Brad Friedel, himself a goalkeeper, was a guest pundit that night.
