Chilean midfielder secures all three points for hosts with great strike.
Fiorentina midfielder David Pizarro scored a golazo on Monday night as his strike secured a 2-1 win over Catania at the Artemio Franchi.
Giuseppe Rossi had given the home side the lead early in the first half, but Pablo Barrientos silenced the Viola faithful shortly after with an equaliser.
Having struggled to settle during the opening stages of the game, Pizarro stepped up to atone for his earlier mistake in the build-up to the goal by striking home from distance.
With many tipping Fiorentina for a strong season this year, they are being regarded as potential Scudetto candidates given the impressive nature of their summer transfer dealings.
While new signing Mario Gomez struck the post when practically presented with an open goal, he is expected to score plenty of goals this season while coach Vincenzo Montella is blessed with several ball-playing midfielders.
Doubts still remain over their defensive cover, but going forward the Viola are undoubtedly one of the best teams to watch in Europe.
