Against the odds, Juventus regained the lead two minutes before halftime with Tevez and Morata both involved again.
Tevez worked the ball to Paul Pogba on the left and his low cross fell perfectly for Morata to sidefoot past Weidenfeller.
The second half continued in the same vein with Dortmund enjoying more possession and Juventus looking more dangerous.
Tevez slid a shot just past the post from the edge of the area and Pirlo's replacement Roberto Pereyra sent a shot agonisingly wide of the far post as Borussia breathed a sigh of relief.
