If I had that, I’d go:

Qe8+ Kh7 forced

Rh1 and black queen is doomed

Black rook can give a check but black queen is pinned. f2xg3 takes care of that issue and the black queen falls soon after. Either way, massive advantage for white. The black rook can also hassle the white queen but the black queen still falls and white is up a bishop minus a pawn at the end of that.

Now I’ll check the analysis.

This is what actually happened in the game:
