33. Rf3xf7
Much better was: Bxg7, if Rxg7, Rxf8mate. If black plays other moves afer Bxg7 then Bd4 is discovered check and black has to play Rg7 then Qxg7 is mate also. Of course white could play Qxg2 after Bxg7 or other silly moves and still loose the game.

33... Rxf7 34. Qxf7+ Qxf7 35. Rxf7 Kxf7
Simplifying down to a won ending for white.

 
36. Bxa7 Ke6 37. Kf2 Kd5 38. Kf3 Kc4 39. Bd4
Always have loved this set-up where a pawn and bishop have a symbiotic relationship protecting each other.

 
39... g6 40. Ke4 b5 41. Bg7 h5 42. Kf4 b4 43. cxb4 Kxb4 44. Kg5 Kc4 45. Kxg6
The moral of the story: Play an opening the way its meant to be. Here white was able to do that. Black did not play the gambit as it was meant to be played. Black wasted time playing around with her queen and when she was needed for defense, she was away.
