Special powers don’t work

Hi, sometimes when I press the screen to use the special powers nothing happens and I end up losing because of this, mostly when I use Matilda or Blues and when I'm about to finish the match, yesterday that happened three times in a row in the same match. At first I thought it was my phone but it's almost new and I don't have this problen with other games or with the normal use of the phone. Does anybody else have this problem or is just me?
