Referred to by ATel #: 11679

We report optical spectroscopy of 2 supernova discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (ATel #4668). The spectra were obtained using the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2017 Dec 06 and 2017 Dec 08 using EFOSC2. Object classification was performed using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and superfit (Howell et al, 2005, ApJ, 634, 119), the details of which are reported in the table below.
