The home same had their fair share of possession but couldn’t manage a single shot on target all game.
Juventus, on the other hand, created 11 chances, five of which were goal bound.
The visitors took the lead in the 24th minute through Danilo who took advantage of Empoli being unable to clear the ball from a corner with a shot from close range.
Eight minutes from fulltime would see Juve go 2-0 up when Federico Chiesa was put through on goal with an attacking half that was left entirely empty save for Empoli goalkeeper Etrit Berisha.
Berish charged at Chiesa who pushed the ball past him while also taking a slight clip from the goalkeeper, causing him to fall to his feet.
He had enough time, however, to get back up, take a touch to improve the angle and finish while two Empoli defenders tried but were unable to get back in time.
Empoli have lost all three of their opening games this season, while Juve move up to third.
