With JQuery: 

   $('.jsmatchdate').text( function (_,txt) {
     return txt.split(' ')[0];
   })

Explanation: we splitted text by ' ' (empty character)
split function returns an array of ['11-08-2018', '12:30'] and we need the first part with index 0.

    why does the function need to accept two parameters? `function (_,txt)` –  Aug 05 '18 at 07:14
  • .text( function ) in JQuery documentation: Type: Function( Integer index, String text ) => String, a function returning the text content to set. Receives the index position of the element in the set and the old text value as arguments.... Source: http://api.jquery.com/text/#text-function – Basel Issmail Aug 05 '18 at 07:49

if you want to use jQuery then you could try the slice command.

$('.jsmatchdate').text(function (_,txt) {
    return txt.slice(0, 11);
});

What this is doing is getting the text in the div and returning the desired length that you want, i.e. 11-08-2018
