Venom vs Carnage, Is there a glitch with [Scythes]

Phaentom

So, it took 4 tries today to finally beat the Clash of the Titans. The problem I had with the first three attempts was that Carnage was generating Red ap without making any Red matches or having any of his tiles on the board. I kept checking his Red ap and it was at 6, he would make a macth(non-red), then I go and make a match, his turn he's got enough ap to fire Symbiote Scythes. Anyone else have this issue today or am I missing something with Carnage?
