After a goalless first half, Riccardo Ciervo's sweetly-struck drive rebounded off the post and in off the goalkeeper to give Alberto De Rossi's side a fortuituous but deserved advantage.
Empoli soon struck back, however, and appeared to be on course to clinch a valuable point - until Filippo Tripi fired home in injury time to snatch a dramatic victory.
The drama did not stop there, however, as the Under-19s punished their visitors' desperate push for an equaliser with a third and final strike, as Mory Bamba finished off an incisive counter-attack calmly and decisively.
