I dunno, in the full speed, it looks unintentional, like she was getting up and stumbled, and the foot went down. But in slow speed it looks intentional.

I disagree, it looks fully intentional at full speed. There's no hint of a stumble, and there's no reason she should need to place her foot down there. She knows exactly where the other player is and chooses to stand / stomp on her.
The officials all agree, it was a definite red card for violent conduct.

Could be, I'm not claiming a magic eye here :)
And I don't know enough about football to claim competence, much less expertise.

If you don't watch it regularly you probably underestimate the body control and awareness the players have. A normal person might accidentally stumble and step on someone else getting up. But, players at that level don't really do that.

It seems like an extra little retaliatory step after the other player held her back. Not sure how the holding back wasn't a foul too.
