Regard the given short exact sequence as a degreewise short exact sequence of chain complexes concentrated in degree . The inverse functor in the Dold–Kan correspondence is exact, so it produces a degreewise short exact sequence of simplicial abelian groups
The last map is degreewise surjective and hence a Kan fibration. Its strict fiber is , and a strict fiber of a fibration computes the homotopy fiber. This proves the asserted homotopy fiber sequence of pointed Kan complexes.
