"continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"?

Any doubts that we are in for another two horse race this season were dissipated when Barcelona beat Villarreal 5-0 on Monday evening. With five back men out through injury or suspension, Guardiola put out a line-up with only one natural defender, Abidal. But even he wasn't needed as the Catalans over-ran the team who finished fourth in the league last season. Alexis, Messi and Busquets all went close before Thiago ran through from midfield to open the scoring midway through the first half. Messi set up Fàbregas for a second on the stroke of half time, and two minutes after the restart Thiago put Alexis through for a third on his La Liga debut. Messi then added two more from Iniesta and Thiago assists to take his team up to second in the table, just a goal short of Madrid, who scored six in Zaragoza on Sunday. Nobody else has a realistic look-in this year.
