Re2, perhaps?
1.Re2 seems to be refuted easily with 1…R5f3.
Qc7 should win in the long run
After
1… Qc7
2.Qh6 Qxh2+
3.Qxh2 Bxh2
4.Rf5 moves
and black has won a pawn

This analysis looks cleaner than what actually happened in the game. What does anyone else think about both players’ actual 29th moves, and White’s 30th?
The actual game was :
28…Qc7
[28…Re2 29.R5f3]
29.g3
[29.Qh6 Qxh2+!; 29.Re5 Qd6 30.a3 Rxf6]
29…Qc6+
30.R5f3 Re1!–+
31.Rxe1
[31.Kg1 Ba7+ 32.Bd4 Qxf3 33.Rxe1 Qxc3–+]
31…Qxf3+
32.Kg1 Ba7+
33.Bd4 Qxc3
