It was an even affair with both teams managing seven shots on goal, with three on target, despite the away side having slightly more of the ball.
The home side took the lead in the 19th minute thanks to a wonderful defense splitting backheel from Andrea Patagna being finished off by Patrick Ciurria.
The goal was initially rule offside before VAR intervened.
The equaliser came just after the break when a flick-on header was met at the back post by Martin Satriano.
The home side restored their advantage in the 67th minute when a Caprari corner was headed home by right back Armando Izzo.
Despite the loss, Empoli are 10 points clear of the drop.
