Isla played against the Socceroos’ in their opening group game clash in Cuiaba last month, part of a classy Chile that won 3-1.
The Chileans progressed through Group B and could’ve so easily have beaten Brazil in the round of 16.
Mauricio Pinilla’s last minute shot cannoning off the bar and heartbreak in the penalty shootout ensued.
Isla played a full game against Neymar and Co, underlining his class at the highest level.
