By Andrew Downie RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A goal from captain Carli Lloyd gave the U.S. women's soccer team a barely deserved 1-0 win over France on Saturday, while hosts Brazil delivered an impressive 5-1 win over Sweden. Lloyd was in the right place at the right time to knock the ball into an empty net from close range with 63 minutes gone in Belo Horizonte after Tobin Heath's shot had come back off the post and left French goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi stranded. U.S. goalie Hope Solo, in her 200th international match, was once again roundly booed by the crowd because of her comments on the Zika virus.
