Brilliant moves are moves that sacrifice material and are good or best. axb5 allows white to capture black's rook
How is this Possible

The move axb5 (from black) takes a knight and lets the opponent win a rook. As far as I know, there is no way to trap white's rook after it captures on a8, so this just loses material (yet it is marked as brillant)?
After Rxa8 Bb7 Black has enough compensation for the exchange as it's not easy at all for White to undertake anything. This (and similar positions) was not obvious at all and is actually a modern discovery from the last 25 years.

My game review is not giving either move the brilliant evaluation, but axb5 could be considered brilliant because the engine evaluates that Black's activity after Rxa8 Bb7 is compensation for the exchange.
HOW IS axb5 BRILLIANT?!
It was probably trapping the rook or something
Opponent responded my brilliant move with a brilliant move. Also, why is axb5 brilliant?
