This battle of the minnows in the CONCACAF Nations League saw US Virgin Islands beat Cayman Islands 2-1, claiming three important points to boost their standings. The story of the match was captured through a detailed dissection of the statistics.

The away side made the most of their attacking opportunities, having 7 shots on target out of 9 attempts. This is higher than the home side's effort, who made 5 out of 8 attempts on target. The increased accuracy and efficiency were decisive factors for the US Virgin Islands, allowing them to net twice. The home team, despite their solid attempts, could only put one goal away. Moreover, the US Virgin Islands showed slightly finer precision, having only two shots off target against the home team's three.

Another key contributing factor to the game's outcome was the assist-to-goal conversion. Both of US Virgin Islands' goals were assisted whereas the Cayman Islands' lone goal also came from an assist. This demonstrates a more efficient utilization of teamwork from the away side, and could be attributed to their win.

Nuances from the match's other statistics are equally engaging. US Virgin Islands' goalkeeper made fewer saves, indicating the Cayman Islands had more shots being off target or blocked. These fine margins possibly tipped the scales of victory.

In terms of disciplinary action, both teams demonstrated good control and sportsmanship, with no red or yellow cards issued. It's worth noting that more substitutions were made by the away side (3 substitutions, as opposed to 2 made by the home side). This could imply superior tactics or better utilization of bench strength, tipping the scales in US Virgin Islands' favor.

Cayman Islands, however, had the upper hand in taking corner kicks (4 to US Virgin Islands’ 3), but failed to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. They were also judged offside twice, hinting at an eagerness to break defensive lines, but requiring better timing.

In conclusion, despite a tight contest, the higher efficiency in shots on target, superior assist-to-goal conversion and possible better tactics with substitutions, allowed the US Virgin Islands to edge out Cayman Islands. The home team, will have to improve on their accuracy and timing in future games. The lack of cards though, suggests a clean, fair match was played by both sides, highlighting the spirit of the CONCACAF Nations League.
