I liked Rf2 also, but it's not as forced as the solution. Unfortunately, White has another third move which delays the mate.

3. Nc3 Rd2+
4. Ke1 Nxc2+
5. Kf1

Not even mate:

With Rf2, white can move c3 which blocks the Qd2 move & so prevents mate.
So you win a Queen but not the game; well, not yet anyway

Thanks to breakerofwind and k1ngfish!

It's all about forced moves, isn't it?! Thank you both!
