Nainggolan scored and assisted in losing SPAL debut

Radja Nainggolan moved to Italy's Serie B towards the end of the January transfer window. The Belgian, who played the first half of the season for Antwerp, joined SPAL. They are coached by his former Roma teammate Daniele de Rossi. 

Just four days after his arrival, the midfielder made his debut in the game against Bari. He came on in the 51st minute, with his new club losing 0-2 and he was key to his team fighting back. However, SPAL ended up losing. 

In the 62nd minute at 0-3, he assisted for Moncini with a perfectly weighted cross into the six yard box and Moncini reduced the deficit. SPAL's joy was short lived as Antenucci made it 1-4 in the 67th minute.

Nainggolan got on the scoresheet himself in the 81st minute when he got on the end of a loose ball in the box and he hit a left footed shot into the top corner. SPAL made it 3-4 seven minutes from time, but were unable to find an equaliser.
