white should have played 56. Rg5+ to push the black King back and then push g3 to g4.
58. Rf7?? Rf1+ wins the white rook and the game. They must have been in time pressure. Thanks for posting the game. This game is a very instructive rook and pawn endgame study!
he could still force a tie with pawn
58. black should have played Ra6+ to steal the white Rook.
