Center Checkmate 2: I literally just checkmated my opponent in the CENTER — is this even normal?

I checked mated my opponents king in the near centre. I made a trap by sacrificing loads of my pieces. I was nervous if my plan didn’t work.
Just finished a 3|0 blitz game. Somehow… I checkmated my oponent right in the center (e4)!
It wasn’t a planned tactic—what a surprise.What do you think?
Was it a huge blunder by my opponent, or did I actually set a clever trap?
Have you ever delivered a mate in the center? If so, share your experience or a link—I’d love to see it!
Bonus question: If you were in your opponent’s shoes, how would you have tried to defend?
