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

Barcelona got some revenge at least for their Super Cup defeat, the Catalans beating Athletic Bilbao 0-1 to start the season once again in the leading positions. After the two legs of that competition and a Europa League qualifier in the last nine days, Valverde again made several changes to his line up, and Luis Enrique also had to cobble together a side due to illness, injuries and suspensions. With half an hour gone the visitors were awarded a penalty when Elustondo tripped Luis Suárez in the area, but Iraizoz guessed correctly and saved Messi’s spot kick. The keeper also kept out Suárez before the break, but some eight minutes in to the second half the striker got what was to prove the only goal with a first time volley from Alba’s lofted cross. Both coaches saw their problems increase when Dani Alves, Busquets and Balenziaga limped off with injuries, and make-shift right back Sergi Roberto came close to a second when he hit the upright later on. Eraso and Ibai Gómez went close and Laporta brought an injury time save out of Bravo, but Barça were not going to let this one go.
