If they called it a DOGSO and a penalty, it likely still would have been a red card.

That's not how it works anymore.

IFAB has eliminated the "triple punishment"(penalty, red card, likely goal) inside the area unless the foul is such that the offending player makes no attempt to play the ball. So in this case, the original contact made outside the area (if called) is DOGSO and a red. That same contact is now a foul and a penalty (and a yellow if the referee deems it worthy).

Basically, there is no DOGSO in the penalty area unless the defender makes zero attempt to play the ball.
