5. ...Qxd6 is a mistake. Black should capture and win by trade the pawn on f3 first, then let White exchange the queens.

Nxf3+ Bxf3 Bxf3 Qxc7+ Kxc7 Rf1? might win the piece. I dunno

Black has Ne4.

White's c3 knight takes it?

Yeah, and then Bd4+ Nf2 Re2 settles things to a draw. This position seems so aggressive for Black yet it's completely busted. White also can't do anything.

Here's the position after these moves:

 

hows this a draw? just push the h-pawn.
