The correct response is:
The stationary soccer ball will begin moving downfield and the ball that struck it will slow down.
In this scenario, when the moving soccer ball strikes the stationary one, the stationary ball will be set into motion in the same direction (downfield) as a result of the collision. Meanwhile, the first ball will lose some of its speed due to the transfer of momentum to the second ball, thus causing it to slow down.
