The Belgium international opened the scoring in style during Thursday's Coppa Italia encounter against Sampdoria.
After a looping deflection off a Sampdoria defender fell in his vicinity, Nainggolan didn't waste any time as he instinctively ripped a volley into the corner of goal to give Roma a 1-0 lead just minutes before the break.
