The US seized control of Group H with a narrow win over a French side they may meet again in the final
Despite being outplayed throughout the first half, the United States managed to see off France thanks to Carli Lloyd’s 63rd minute goal today in Belo Horizonte. The USWNT managed the game’s only goal after some fine work from Tobin Heath, whose shot crashed off the post, teeing up Lloyd for the finish from three yards out. France pushed for an equalizer, winning numerous headers in dangerous spots, but Hope Solo managed to preserve a second straight Olympic shutout.
