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

Barcelona are not out of the title race just yet, and they remain four points behind leaders Atlético after coming from behind to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in the last match on Sunday evening. Three devastating defeats in the last ten days had left them out of both cup competitions and struggling in the league, and once again they had problems finding the net, Iraizoz saving from Pedro, Messi and Alexis, Messi having a goal ruled out for offside, Balenziaga clearing off the line from Adriano and Alexis firing a shot against the crossbar from only a yard or so out. Athletic too had their chances, in particular an overhead kick from Aduríz which hit the post, Pinto doing well to save Susaeta’s follow up, and some five minutes in to the second half Aduríz beat Pinto with an angled shot to open the scoring. Susaeta had a strike disallowed for a borderline offside soon afterwards, and Barça continued to waste chances, with Iraizoz saving from Pedro and Messi shooting wide. However with twenty minutes to go Pedro turned a wayward Alexis shot past the keeper to level the scores, and just two minutes later Messi fired home a low free kick to get his side back to winning ways.
