Debinha also holds the all-time records for most Challenge Cup goals (12) and NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup Goals (4). She scored 9 goal for the club in her first season.
Internationally, she is known as one of the best players in the world. She has nearly 150 appearances for Brazil, including the 2016 and 2021 Olympics, and the 2019 and 2023 FIFA World Cups. Her 61 international goals rank third all-time for her country.
3 Kansas City Current players make the NWSL’s ‘August Best XI of the Month’. Midfielders Debinha and Lo’eau LaBonta, as well as none other than forward Temwa Chawinga. Chawinga, leads the NWSL’s Golden Boot race and is only four goals away from tying the NWSL’s single-season scoring record, which is well obtainable with 8 matches left in the season. Captain LaBonta opened August with a goal against Tigres Femenil in the Summer Cup and added an assist in the Women’s Cup.
