The game saw 9...e3?! 10.Bxe3 Bxc2?, winning a pawn but getting a lost position.
After the further moves 11.Rc1 Bg6 White could have gained a large advantage with 12.0-0, followed by Rfd1.
My opponent preferred 12.Rd1+?!, but was winning anyway, according to Stockfish16 and Komodo14.1.
LESSON: grabbing a pawn in the opening when well behind in development is often a recipe for disaster.
