Radja Nainggolan scores a screamer in Roma's Coppa Italia match against Sampdoria

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan scored with a superb strike in Thursday's Coppa Italia match against Sampdoria.

The round-of-16 tie was shown live on Sky Sports, with the home side taking the lead just before half-time as the Belgium international hit home with a sweet volley.

Stephan El Shaarawy went on a darting run down the left flank and attempted to chip the ball into the box for his team-mates, but Sampdoria defender Matias Silvestre was there to clear the danger.

However, his block fell directly into the path of Nainggolan who made no mistake in hitting the oncoming ball first time from around 20 yards and sending it flying past the leaping goalkeeper Christian Puggioni.

It was a muted celebration from the player himself, but Roma legend Francesco Totti - who was on the bench - was more enthusiastic, waving his shirt above his head as he congratulated his team-mate.
