This is a case known as 'stalemate' where your opponent has no legal moves which is a draw.
Thank you!
The game ended in a draw even though it wasn't.

How does Stalemate, a rule of chess, have any bearing on that opinion?

I had a winning position, the opponent offered a draw, but I did not agree, but the game ended unexpectedly automatically in a draw.
And this is not the first time.
How it works?
Prior to your move, white only had one legal move. Moving that pawn removed that legal move.
When you run across a position like that, look for checks or moves that improve your position but also don't stalemate. In this particular case, you had mate in 1.

Guys, can anyone explain me how this match ended as a "draw after time expired and lack of material". Here is the match:

White ran out of time so can't win. Black only has a king, so does not have sufficient material to mate so could never win. Therefore, it's a draw

Because all black has is a king.
If one player runs out of time, the result depends on the material for the other side. Depending on where you are playing, the rules are different. We will assume White runs out of time.
Black wins if:
FIDE - there exists any legal sequence of moves, even if it is help mate, where Black mates the white king.
USCF - Black has ANYTHING BUT a loan king, King and one knight, king and one Bishop, or king and two knights WITH NO WHITE PAWN on the board. Black can also win if he can demonstrate FORCED MATE with one of those combinations. For example: WKg1, WPh2, WPe2, BKe3, BBh3, White to move. If he stalls and runs out of time, Black still wins because only legal move is 1.Kh1, then 1...Kf2 and only legal moves are 2.e3 or 2.e4, both of which allow 2...Bg2#.
Chess.com - Same as USCF EXCEPT they were too lazy to program the forced mate scenario. So even if you have a forced mate, chess.com with treat K+B or the others as a draw.
I received an answer to my question, so I'm editing this post.
Thank you.
Play more, complain less.
Love chess.
