Carlos Isola

Biography
Upon joining River Plate, Isola originally played as an inside left, a position now known as a left winger or attacking midfielder.

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.
