So I played a 30 minute rapid and was winning, I then see an oppurtunity to checkmate and move my f7 to f5 square. It should've been a mate but the clock kept running. The guy eventually abandoned the game and upon further analysis, showing future possible moves, it showed the whites e5 pawn "taking" my f5 pawn and moving to f6, which is physically impossible lol. I'll paste the game but very curious how the heck this happened.
Minor edit, paste the game in for youself and see, it's so weird lol

It's a legal move called en passant.
