Glas' first experience with a professional team was in 2013, when she joined Sunnanå SK of the Damallsvenskan.[2][3] In March 2013, Glas suffered the second ACL tear of her career in a pre-season match against Umeå IK.[4] As a result, she missed the entire 2013 Damallsvenskan season.
In November 2013, she joined Umeå IK and played sixteen matches in her first season, scoring two goals.[5] At the end of the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, Glas extended her contract with Umeå for another year.[6] Glas played most of the 2015 Damallsvenskan season before tearing her ACL for the third time in September 2015 in a match against Kopparberg/Goeteborg FC (now BK Häcken).[7][8] Ahead of the 2016 season, she extended her contract at the club by two years.[9] She spent most of the season rehabilitating her injury, and was back in action at the end of August, playing 10 games for the club.[5] At the end of the 2016 season, Umeå were relegated to the Elitettan after 19 straight seasons in Sweden's top division.
In November 2016, Glas left relegated Umeå IK to sign a two-year contract with Eskilstuna United.[10] In 2018, she transferred to Paris Saint-Germain. Glas made just five league appearances in her second season with PSG.[11] She joined Bayern Munich on a three-year deal in 2020.[2]
On 25 April 2021, in the first leg of Bayern's UEFA Women's Champions League semifinal against Chelsea, Glas gave an assist to Sydney Lohmann and then scored Bayern's match-winner.[11] In the second leg, Bayern were defeated 4–1 by Chelsea. On 19 May 2021, UEFA selected Glas' goal against Chelsea as the best goal of the 2020–21 tournament.[12] On 6 June 2021, Glas earned the first major club title of her career when Bayern became Frauen-Bundesliga champions for the first time since 2016.[13]
Glas missed the entire 2022–2023 Frauen Bundesliga season when she tore her ACL for a fourth time in September 2022 during a training session with the national team.
In 2023, she signed a two-year contract with the Kansas City Current.

In 2009, Glas played for Sweden's U-17 national team, and in 2010, suffered the first ACL injury of her career in a training session with the team.[7] She later went on to play for Sweden's under-19 football team, and was an important part of the squad that won the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[14]
Glas was selected for the Swedish national team in 2015 to compete in UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying after having had a strong club season in 2015, but her third ACL injury made it so she was unable to join the squad.[7] On 19 January 2017, Glas finally made her debut in the national team in a 2–1 loss against Norway. In 2019, she was a part of Sweden's squad that finished third place in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[15] In 2021, she was a starter in Sweden's 2020 Tokyo Olympics campaign where they won a silver medal.[16]
