Actually, If you will re-read the verse, you will see that when they came to the tomb (as it began to dawn on the 1st day of the week) he was ALREADY risen.
The days started at sun DOWN.
He was crucified on a Wednesday. There were two Sabbaths that week.
The one that fell on that Thursday (The High Sabbath) and the weekly Sabbath.
