Madrid dominated the match but were frustrated by goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who put in an almost perfect performance until the 38-year-old Modric latched onto a rebound and blasted an unstoppable curling shot off the far post in the 81st minute.
The win takes Madrid to 65 points ahead of Barcelona, who are second after beating Getafe 4-0 on Saturday, and nine ahead of third-placed Girona before they host Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
