This is a quick mate.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6
Black chooses the Philidor Defense, less popular for sure.

 
3. d4 f5
Even more less popular is this gambit.

 
4. dxe5 fxe4 5. Ng5
White moves the Knight to attack the pawn or...

 
5... h6
...If black does something like this, then white can win significant material or achieve a quick mate (which happens here).

 
6. Qh5+ Kd7
Only move, the other legal move gave white mate.

 
7. e6+ Kc6
Again only move to avoid mate.

 
8. Nf7
Black must choose to lose its queen or suffer mate.

 
8... Qe8
Black chooses mate.

 
9. Qb5#
Ballgame.
