Scorching Chess Game #1: Control The Center

Greetings I am @BlazingFireOnTheBoard. This is my first blitz game on chess.com and it is against an Australian player named HontyG rated (363). In this game, I played a normal opening and was able to win in 13 moves. I played at 73 accuracy versus 48 accuracy by my opponent. It was a very clean game with a Gotham-rook sacrifice but is a miss. Nothing interesting but hope it could teach you something. So this game perfectly execute the chess principle #1 which is CTC or control the center. So I played
e4, King's pawn opening and my opponent played an opening inaccuracy a5. I played f4 a good move with an intention of hindering the opponent to play e5. The opponent continued to recklessly play a4Nf3 a natural developing move for the knight, controlling d4 and e5e6 by my opponent, best move 
and I played d4. d5 
best move by my opponent, to fight for the center and e5 shutting it down and maintaining a solid pawn center. h6 preventing Ng5, Bd3 developing the bishop, and c6, a good said by the computer engine but is now +1.1 on the evaluation bar. O-O, castling and developing the rook on the open f-file. b5, attacking the queen side but an unwise decision since the king is on the kingside. f5, a sneaky sacrifice to open up the f-file to attack. f6, a mistake by my opponent and was capitalized somehow by fxe6. fxe5, another mistake and white is clearly at the advantage by +6.2 on the eval bar. Nxe5, best move that gives the knight a brilliant and solid outpost on e5, controlling alot of vital squares such as g6, f7, and d7. Nf6, best move somehow covering the dangerous open f-file. Rxf6!! no not really, Rxf6 a miss but a worthy rook sac. Be7?? the final blunder that sets the game. Qh5+! a great move, checks the king, g6 forcing move, and the final nail in the coffin, Qx- nooooo its Bxg6#A disrespect checkmate by the bishop with the king not being able to escape to d7 because of the knight on e5 and to the f-file bacause of the rook on f6.
