I looked at this game. There is no bishop sacrifice. Perhaps you meant the
exchange sacrifice on move 26?

White could have forced a draw immediately with Rf1 Nf6 Rf2 Rc1+ Rff1 Rc2 Rf2
etc.
White can even play for a win with this plan: e5 (keep the knight out of f6)
followed by Ref1, Rbe1, Re3, Ref3, Rf3f2. If White can execute that plan and
trade a pair of rooks and/or win the b-pawn, then Black is in deep trouble
unless all those rooks moves give the Knight enough time to do some damage. An
interesting ending!
