A result that shook the world, a rant for the ages and a motorsport interloper.

It was a wonderful weekend of sport that threw up remarkable stories – and with so much going on you would be forgiven for missing a few of the best bits.

So here is BBC Sport’s selection of highlights from an amazing few days of action.

Japan shock the world – but Japan is asleep

Japan’s 34-32 Rugby World Cup victory over South Africa on Saturday was not only considered perhaps the greatest upset in rugby union, but one of the all-time shocks in sport.

Neutrals everywhere were egging on the Brave Blossoms as Karne Hesketh crossed in injury time to secure a stunning win in Group B.

So, 6,000 miles away from the remarkable scenes in Brighton, how did the population of Japan react?

Well, they hardly would have known as it was the middle of the night and the match was not even broadcast live on Japanese television.

Seijiro Takeshita, a professor at the University of Shizuoka,

told BBC News

that rugby is mainly played as a sport of honour, and not for money” in Japan.

The Brave Blossoms certainly held up the honour of their nation.

The Singapore track invader

Have you ever taken a wrong turn and ended up somewhere you never intended?

How about strolling on to a Formula 1 circuit? Ever done that?

One fan, by accident or design, found himself

plodding down the track

at the Singapore Grand Prix, which was won by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.

Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo, who finished second, said: “He was on his phone taking pictures, probably for Instagram or something.”

Crooks gives Dean a piece of his mind

Referee Mike Dean riled Arsenal fans this week, but not as much as he wound up Garth Crooks.

Dean infuriated the Gunners and their manager Arsene Wenger by not sending off Chelsea striker Diego Costa, following a number of off-the-ball clashes in Saturday’s 2-0 win for the Blues.

But nobody was as angry as former Tottenham forward and BBC Final Score pundit Crooks, who grew increasingly furious during his analysis of the dismissal of Arsenal defender Gabriel during the same game.

According to Crooks, Dean has one fault: “He wants to be the star too often. It’s not about you, Mike.”

Tears on the greens

Australia’s Jason Day may have toppled Rory McIlroy at the summit of golf’s world rankings with his

victory at the BMW Championship.

But it was the confusion, emotion and confrontation of the Solheim Cup that everybody was talking about.

The USA produced a superb display in the singles to beat Europe 14½-13½ in Germany, but beneath that scoreline was

the controversy of ‘Gimmegate’.

It was on the 17th hole in the fourballs that America’s Alison Lee thought her 18-inch putt had been conceded by the Europe pairing of Charley Hull and Suzann Pettersen.

While it was Lee who technically broke a rule, it was Pettersen who was lambasted for a perceived lack of sportsmanship. And the confrontation that followed on that 17th green left Lee and Hull in tears.

Norwegian Pettersen has since issued an apology and explanation, saying: “I feel like I let my team down and I am sorry.”

Bring on the Belgians

Andy Murray once again inspired his country to a Davis Cup victory, as Great Britain beat Australia 3-2 to reach the final of the ‘World Cup of tennis’.

But what do we know about Belgium,

Britain’s opponents in November’s final?

The hosts will hold he tie at the Flanders Expo Arena in Ghent, which in the past has hosted the biggest names in pop, including Elton John, Prince and U2 – as well as Belgian television’s version of The Voice.

It will be Belgium’s first Davis Cup final in 111 years, and they earned it when Steve Darcis beat Argentina’s Federico Delbonis in four sets in a deciding fifth rubber in Brussels.
