We report spectroscopic observations of OGLE-2013-SN-014
Ra= 03:53:07.78 Dec = -71:20:46.6 discovered by the OGLE-IV survey
(http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl). A spectrum (range 350-1000 nm)
obtained robotically on Feb. 20.43 UT with the FLOYDS
spectrograph at FTS shows it to be a young type-II supernova.
The spectrum show a blue continuum with balmer lines overimposed,
at a redshift of 0.037 (from host-galaxy emission lines)
Comparisons with a library of supernova spectra using the "GELATO"
code (Harutyunyan et al. 2008, A.Ap. 488, 383)
yields the best match with 1999gi.
