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

Barcelona move four points clear at the top of the table after a 2-1 victory over second placed Real Madrid in the latest “clásico” between the two Spanish giants on Sunday evening. It was a close fought match, Ronaldo firing a shot against the crossbar before Mathieu headed the opener from Messi’s wide free kick in the twentieth minute. Ten minutes later Neymar missed an easy chance and play went straight up the other end, Benzema back-heeling Modric’s pass across for Ronaldo to slide home the equalizer. That boosted Madrid’s confidence, and before half time Bale had a strike ruled out for a dubious offside (by Ronaldo?), Bravo had to tip a shot from Ronaldo over the bar and Bale fired another chance wide. After the interval Bravo had to save again from Benzema, but soon afterwards Luis Suárez restored the lead for the Catalans, the ex Liverpool striker controlling a long ball from Dani Alves before turning a shot past Casillas. There were chances at both ends after that, Neymar and Messi shooting wide and Casillas saving from Jordi Alba, and Bravo having to react quickly to keep out a deflected shot from Benzema. But Luis Enrique’s side had the three points, and although the head-to-head record is still in favour of Madrid, that will only apply if the two teams are level at the end of the season. With ten matches to go anything could still happen, but right now that looks unlikely.
