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

Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by city rivals Espanyol in the last match on Sunday evening, a result which left them five points adrift of arch-rivals Real Madrid. Barça's away form this season has been their weak point, and they could have gone behind early on when Valdés pushed out a shot from Verdú, and Piqué cleared his follow up off the line with the keeper beaten. A mistake by Cristian Alvarez could have gifted a goal to the visitors had Messi not controlled the ball with his hand, but with a quarter of an hour on the clock Fàbregas headed in a Dani Alves cross to put Barça ahead. Neither side was able to carve out clear cut chances after that though, and with four minutes to go Thievy header over a Raúl Rodríguez centre for Alvaro Vázquez to head home the equaliser. That set up a frenetic finish, and in the last minute Piqué fired a shot against the bar, and Pedro had a penalty appeal turned down when his follow up shot hit Raúl Rodríguez on the hand. There was still time for Rodríguez to head a corner just over the bar, but the game ended seconds later, much to the delight of the local fans.
