JUVENTUS claimed a 2-1 advantage after the first leg of their Champions League first knockout round tie against Borussia Dortmund.
Carlos Tevez and Marco Reus traded untidy goals before Alvaro Morata restored Juventus' slead late in the first half in Turin.
With no further goals in the second half, the Serie A leaders were left as favourites to progress, although Dortmund's away goal gives them hope. Little more than a minute had elapsed when Ciro Immobile, against his former club, sent a long-range sighter high and wide of Gianluigi Buffon's goal.
Buffon was then rushed by Giorgio Chiellini's back-pass and hacked the ball out of play, but Marcel Schmelzer's foul throw saw the chance wasted.
Juve took the lead when Morata broke and crossed and Roman Weidenfeller fumbled the ball straight to Tevez to tap home.
But the equaliser arrived five minutes later when Giorgio Chiellini's slip presented the ball to Reus, who calmly tucked it past Buffon from the edge of the box.
Morata nodded Tevez's inventive cutback wide and Bonucci could not get on top of Andrea Pirlo's free-kick before the latter was forced off by injury, Roberto Pereyra taking his place.
