Carlos Isola (6 March 1896 – 8 February 1964) was an Argentine football goalkeeper. He played for River Plate from 1913 to 1925, and in 22 matches for the Argentina national football team in 1916.[1][2] He was also part of Argentina's squad for the 1916, 1917 and 1919 South American Championships.[3][4]
Isola won three titles with River Plate.
Biography
[edit]Upon joining River Plate, Isola originally played as an inside left, a position now known as a left winger or attacking midfielder.[5]
However, due to a lack of goalkeepers, Isola stepped into the role and quickly made it his own. With River Plate, he scored two goals from penalties during his career—one as a goalkeeper on Sunday, April 5, 1914, against Banfield, and another as an outfield player on Sunday, November 22, 1918, against Porteño.[5]
During his tenure with the club, Isola won the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club and the Tie Cup in 1914, as well as the 1920 Argentine Primera División.[5]
Isola retired from football in 1925 at the age of 28 to pursue new career opportunities, as football was not financially rewarding at the time.[5]
