Hapoel took the lead in the 19th minute after Guillermo Israilevich's quickly taken free kick was lobbed into the box to Samuel Yeboah, who headed the ball past the Bnei Yehuda 'keeper.
Eleven minutes before halftime, Yeboah doubled Hapoel's lead and scored his second with a volley from the center of the box.
Bnei Yehuda got back into the match against the run of play in the 43rd minute when Lior Asulin headed the ball in from 10 meters.
However, the hosts were unable to translate their second half domination into goals.
