Playing career

Club

Adriana played in the Champions League with Espanyol and Rayo Vallecano, scoring 10 goals in 12 games.

In August 2012, Adriana agreed to play the last six games of the FA WSL season with Chelsea Ladies.[7] In early 2013, she signed with the Western New York Flash for the inaugural season of the NWSL. She played for Levante from 2014 to 2017.

In the summer of 2017, she signed with Málaga CF of the Spanish Segunda División. She was the first signing under new coach Antonio Contreras, who she had also played under at Levante.[3][8]

Adriana agreed to sign for Lazio in July 2020.[9] She scored 26 goals in 26 games to secure the club's promotion to Serie A.[10]

International

Adriana has been a longstanding member of the Spanish national team. In the qualification stage for the 2011 World Cup she scored 16 goals.[11]

In October 2012 Adriana scored in Spain's 3–2 extra time win over Scotland in the second leg of the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying play-off. The Spanish looked to be heading out when Veró Boquete had missed a penalty three minutes before hitting the winning goal on 122 minutes. Adriana had also scored Spain's goal in the first leg, a 1–1 draw at Hampden Park.

In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda confirmed Adriana as a member of his 23-player squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.[12] She was not named to the final Spanish roster for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, despite being named on a preliminary 35-player roster.[13][14]
