How can modern aircraft fly on just one engine if the other one fails? Shouldn’t the torque produced by the functioning engine make the aircraft yaw?

The yaw and roll can be countered by adjusting the ailerons and rudder. It would cause some drag and wouldn’t make for a great flight, but one engine will be enough to at least keep you flying level in most planes.
