Club career

In May 2017, Luís ended a four-year spell in German football by signing for SC Braga.[1] By March 2018 Luís had already scored 20 goals when she agreed an extension to her contract with Braga.[2] In April her acrobatic bicycle kick goal against Boavista went viral and was compared to a celebrated goal which fellow Madeiran Cristiano Ronaldo had recently scored against Juventus.[3] She finished as the top goalscorer of the 2017–18 Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino, with 32 goals.[4]

International career

Luís scored on her senior debut for the Portugal women's national football team on 17 September 2011, an 8–0 UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying win over Armenia.

She was named by coach Francisco Neto in the 23-player Portugal squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.[5]
