My first Faalkbeer counter gambit

This is my first Faalkbeer counter gambit game. I have read about this opening. Never played it.

Altough I was beaten, I think I played fairly well.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. d3 Bb4 6. dxe4 Nxe4 7. Bd2 Qh4+ 8. g3 Nxg3 9. hxg3 Qxh1 10. Qe2+ Be7 11. Nf3 Bg4 12. O-O-O Qxf3 13. Qxf3 Bxf3 14. Re1 f5 15. Bb5+ c6 16. dxc6 Nxc6 17. Re5 Be4 18. Nxe4 fxe4 19. Rxe4 Kd7 20. Rd4+ Kc7 21. Re4 Rhe8 22. Bc3 Bf6 23. Rxe8 Rxe8 24. Bxf6 gxf6 25. Bxc6 Kxc6 {White resigns} 0-1



After the game my opponent pointed out that I could have played 19 Bb4 winning a bishop.

Looks like my opponent missed a mate in 4. 9. .. Qxg3+ 10. Ke2 Bg4+ 11. Nf3 Qxf3+ 12. Ke1 Qg3#
I should have played 16 d6 attacking the pinned bishop
