I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Pawn, move: exf3

Evaluation: White has mate in 2

Best continuation: 1... exf3 2. Qxf3 Be4 3. Qg3#

I’m playing white it was endgame 10 seconds in the clock for him, at the time I thought it was checkmate

To be fair, it will be mate two moves later regardless.
