[D]r1b4k/1p1p3p/1Pp1p1pP/P3P1P1/5P2/8/6K1/3RB3 b - - 0 72

This position happened in the game movei-averno
My question is if it is a win for white or a draw.

Black may try to get freedom for the pieces by sacrificing a pawn
(for example 72...d5)

In the game black did not do it and lost.
Note that white has also ideas like f5 exf5 Rxf5.

The question is if black could save the game and if black could do it what was
the losing mistake of black in the game


72...Kg8 73.Bb4 Ra6 74.Kf3 Ra8 75.Ke3 Rb8 76.Rh1 Kf7 77.Rc1 Ra8 78.Ke4 Ra6
