My 5yo pupil, Magnus, is playing his first chess tournament. Although I missed his first game, @Elder helped me reconstruct this important first win from the few clues I could collect.
Alas, the second round started when I was still reading @Elder useful answer on Puzzling.SE, and I missed the action again! When I reached the playing hall, Magnus and his opponent, a 7yo girl, were already putting the pieces back in their starting places.
Luckily, Magnus won again - his bright smile left me no doubt about the result. He was Black this time, and the five bars in each column (for White and for Black) on his scoresheet prove that, once again, the game was a very short one.
When I asked him what happened, he told me:
"I took her rook with my knight, hop! I was already so happy to eat a rook, but moreover, after I played it, I noticed that I was attacking her king, and she had no escape... Checkmate, I won again!
-Impressive, congratulations, Magnus! Err... Do you remember what happened before ?
-Hmmm, not quite, the board is so big... At first I was a bit afraid because she is taller than me, and she started with the pawn in front of her king, two squares - I remembered you told me this is a great move to start with, so I thought she must be very strong to find it. But then I just played a few moves, and my horsey ate her rook, and wow, checkmate!"
I could not get any more details about how the game went, so once again I need to ask you to help me and reconstruct what happened.
TL;DR
Find the chess game where White starts with 1.e4 and Black plays 5...NxR#
Hints will be provided later (if need be).

Nice job. Alas, I make a mistake in the question - so sorry. I'll edit the question, and this answer will not work anymore, so I won't give you the thick. +1 anyway, of course.
