Can someone tell me how or why chess.com said I lost?

Post by Emekadavid2025 »

This morning I was playing against an opponent on chess.com and was about to win, suddenly the computer alg said I had lost.
it was a huge surprise. So I downloaded the pgn of the game.
Since I am new here, first, I want to ask: can I upload the pgn file so others can go through it? Just the last two moves between us?
thanks

Your clock shows that your time has run out. Since Black has mating material, he wins.
