VIDEO: Andre-Pierre Gignac's brilliant 1st-time strike sinks Pachuca

Former Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac's first of two against Pachuca Saturday was a dazzling moment of individual skill that reminded many of the summer's most curious transfer.

Gignac completed a nice team sequence with a blistering volley that confounded Pachuca's 'keeper, as the 21-time capped French international channeled his inner Frank Lampard during his brace Saturday.

To the surprise of most, Gignac, moved from Marseille in the summer to Mexican giants Tigres UANL on a free transfer, penning a three-year contract for a reported $4-million to $5-million annually.
