The 23-year-old Banyana Banyana star completed her switch to Benfica last month after leaving Beijing BG Phoenix, penning a multi-year deal with the side as she took her first steps into European football.
After making her debut earlier this month in the 3-1 win over Sporting Braga in the Taça de Portugal, the attacker got her first goals this weekend as they smashed Amora 11-2 to progress into the semifinals of the competition.
