After move 18, g3??, Steinitz won the exchange with Nc3, because the queen was either forced to abandon the protection of the bishop on d2, or the bishop had to capture the knight, which is what happened in the game.

Steinitz missed a chance to take advantage of a potential advantage on move 11. He could have played 11.Nd3, winning a tempo on the black rook.

17. ... c5? (This mistake results in the loss of a piece after 18.Qg3, which pins the knight to the unprotected bishop, and the knight has no squares to move.)
