A mixture of skill, precision, and ruthless efficiency, particularly in their shot accuracy and goalkeeping, were key contributors to the away team's victory.

Green Island AFC, despite being on the losing side, showcased commendable performance as they fulfilled more assists (4) compared to Nelson Suburbs FC (3) and made more successful shots on target (10) than their opponents (8). However, these efforts were insufficient as Nelson Suburbs FC stole the win.

The shot accuracy was where Nelson Suburbs FC excelled. Despite having fewer shots on target, they managed to keep a higher conversion rate, which led to them scoring more goals from fewer opportunities. Moreover, their goalkeeping was exceptional. They made 7 saves compared to Green Island’s 4, reflecting their stalwart defensive performance.

Both teams played a clean game with no red or yellow cards, indicating fair play and discipline from all players. However, Green Island AFC committed more fouls (11) than Nelson Suburbs FC (8), which might have provided Nelson with crucially advantageous set-piece opportunities that could've influenced the game's result.

In terms of set-piece play, Green Island AFC created more opportunities with 6 corner kicks compared to Nelson Suburbs FC’s 3, indicating a more aggressive offensive performance. Yet, it was not enough to secure them a win, suggesting room for improvement in capitalizing on these situations.

Substitution-wise, both teams opted for three changes, which had an equal strategic influence on the game from both sides. Lastly, offsides were of minimal difference, with Green Island AFC caught offside twice and Nelson Suburbs FC, once. This demonstrates both teams' discipline and strategy in maintaining their formations.

In summary, although Green Island AFC showed an aggressive and higher offensive strategy with more shots on target, assists, and corner kicks, their efforts ultimately fell short due to Nelson Suburbs FC's superior shot conversion and rigorous defensive performance. Nelson Suburbs FC's victory is a testament to their economical play, capitalizing effectively on their fewer opportunities. The combination of these factors holds the key to their victory despite the home team's offensive efforts.
