Here's why:
* Breakaway is a phrasal verb that functions as a single unit, meaning it acts as a single verb with a specific meaning. In this case, it means "to separate from a group" or "to escape from something".
* Separable phrasal verbs allow the object to be placed between the verb and the preposition, but "breakaway" doesn't work that way.
Incorrect: The team broke away the game.
Correct: The team broke away from the game.
Therefore, you always use "breakaway" as a single unit and place the object after the entire phrase.
