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.
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.
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.
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.
