She participated in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Early life
Andressinha was born in Roque Gonzales in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.[5] She played futsal as she grew up. She started playing football at a young age and had the support of her father, Elizeu Machry, who would take her to training and games.[6] Her father was also a professional footballer.[7]
Club career
Andressinha started her football career at Esporte Clube Pelotas in Nova Esperança do Sul after the club conducted an open tryout in 2009.[8] The following year, she joined Kindermann of Santa Catarina, and remained with the team until 2014,[8] when she was called to the Brazilian national team. Andressa helped the team win League titles in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013,[9][10] and reach the Brazilian Women's Soccer League finals in 2014.[11]
In league and cup competitions from 2012 to 2014, Andressa appeared in 28 matches (26 starts) and scored ten goals, and she led the team in goals in 2011 and 2013.[12][11]

On 27 July 2015, Andressa joined the Houston Dash, wearing No. 2.[12] with the arrival of Andressinha, it was necessary to open a vacancy and for that the defender Carleigh Williams has been waived to make room on the 20-player roster.[12]
Andressinha made her debut for Houston against FC Kansas City on 29 July 2015.[13] She started all her seven games for the Dash that season but scored no goals.[14] At the end of 2015 season, she was named Young Player of the Year.[15]
2016
Andressinha appeared in all of Houston Dash's preseason games,[16] where she scored her first goal for her new club from a free-kick in a 3–0 win against Oregon State Beavers at Providence Park.[17] Andressinha ended the season having scored one goal, and made 15 appearances for the dash in NWSL regular reason.[18] Her goal came against Orlando Pride on 24 April 2016, which was the first match between the two expansion clubs.[19]
2017
During that season, Andressinha played 21 games and scored two goals for the Texas club.
Iranduba (2017 loan)
In the NWSL offseason, Andressinha played for Iranduba in the Amazonian Women's Football Championship and was crowned champions.
Portland Thorns
After three seasons in Houston, Andressa was traded to the Portland Thorns FC in January 2018.[20] She missed all of Portland's preseason games as she was playing for Brazil at the 2018 Copa América Femenina in Chile. Andressinha made her debut for Portland Thorns against Utah Royals FC on 28 April 2018, where she came on as a 64th-minute substitute for Celeste Boureille.[21] On 11 May 2018, she scored her first goal for the team, a free kick that gave the Thorns the lead in their eventual 3–1 win.[22]

Andressa played for Brazil at the 2010 and 2012 editions of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

Andressa scored her first goal for Brazil in December 2014, a free-kick in a 4–1 Torneio Internacional de Brasília de Futebol Feminino win over China.[26] She was playing alongside the experienced Formiga as a holding midfielder and was praised by the team coach Vadão, who said: "whenever I am asked about the future of women's football, I speak of Andressinha."[27]

She was named FIFA's Player of the Match in the final group game, a 1–0 win over Costa Rica.[29] In Brazil's 1–0 second-round defeat by Australia, Andressa played the full 90 minutes. She remained in Canada as part of the Brazilian selection for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.
