Another way to look at this is to see that we have an almost XY wing - the killer <179> as used above.

However, at the start that is spoiled by the extra 8 in r5c1.

Code:
Either the 8 at r5c1 is true or the <179> XY Wing is true.

Let's look at making that 8.

r5c1 = 8 then r8c1 = 5 r9c1 = 4 and r7c2 = 8
                           |  |
                           |  |
                          \    /
                           \  /
                            \/
                           r9c4=3 and r9c6 = 5 and r7c5 = 8

Two 8's in row 7 - contradiction so we know that r5c1 can NOT be 8

The XY Wing <179> is true and puzzle solved.
