Why is this a brilliant move?

I played against my friend a while ago, and when he hung a rook in this position, game review marked it as brilliant. Why?

chess com made it easier to get brilliant move, any sacrifice that leads to similar evaluation will be considered brilliant. right now, you sacrificed queen for a rook + bishop which I guess is eligible to meet the criteria. If you didn't sacrifice, maybe things will get annoying after black plays Bxe3

sorry man, forgot to reply to yours. If you meant 28. Qxa8+ then it's the same explanation i said for the previous guy: chess com made it easier to get brilliant move, any sacrifice that leads to similar evaluation will be considered brilliant.

also, he didn't "hung a rook" since it was protected by the other one
